January 23, 2017 Timberline

We decided that we needed to go South. We arrived for one of first chairs at Timberline. The sun was out with 20 degree temp, 3”overnight, and no wind. We have the Fusion Pass season passes because we can ski there until the end of May. The season pass is cheap for us old folks, and in addition we got the Powder Alliance/Fusion Pass for 3 days and 12 resorts. All the groomers had the 3” of fresh on top and it was silky smooth – no ice. All lifts at treeline were great. The Magic Mile lift was in the sun with no wind, but the slopes are above the treeline and were wind affected. We skied off this lift and remembered that those “bumps” have some rock underneath. Mt. Hood was out and the views of the peaks in the distance were seen with a fog base approaching the summit. A nice start for the trip SOUTH.

Great photos, thanks! I've only skied Timberline in early July!

Those were beautiful shots Zap, I used the first one today on the Cascade Freeride FB page.

Great photos, Zap,
Hope you and Jill have a fun and memorable trip south.
If your trip back north brings you back through Mt Hood in May be sure to join us for dinner again at our annual Wild Hearts Silcox Hut Mt Hood climb/ski trip. That was a kick last time.

Totally disgusting Seniors !

Look in the mirror, brother.
